# Code and Variable Mode

Selecting the "code and variable" option under each block will take the selected block to code and variable mode.

## Elements of Code and Variable Mode

In code and variable mode, the user can access the input variables going into a block and the list of variables, plots, dataframes coming out of the block as outputs. There is an inbuilt viewer for dataframes (~~df.head()~~ 👋) and plots for quick access.

As seen in the gif below, block\_a and block\_b are connected and you can use the output of block\_a in block\_b, but you can also use output from block\_c by attaching variables as shown below.
